In this book, George Alogoskoufis examines our country's options following the international crisis. The crisis revealed significant weaknesses stemming from the past.

The author analyzes Europe's integration into the global economy, its response to the crisis, and Greece's role as a member state of the European Union. The fascinating journey of the country over the 35 years since the restoration of democracy, the successes and failures, the policies, mistakes, and omissions are discussed based on objective data from the European Union.

The preparation for accession to the EEC, the policies of the 1980s, the convergence policy, and Greece's path within the eurozone are evaluated. The conclusions drawn, advocating for a smaller state in the economy and a more efficient economy in the state, are critical for the country's trajectory in the decade following the crisis.
